ViewGit 0.0.3 has been released just now (download).

Freshmeat release announcement is pending:

Added a quick search by commit details, change, author, or committer. Added a patch download link: commits can now be directly downloaded as patches in format-patch format. Also improved compatibility and fixed some bugs.

It seems that this project is starting to pick up users, with some positive comments posted on the web. ViewGit is almost six months old project (it was published six months ago), with 1466 hits and 3 (!) subscribers on Freshmeat. In comparison, 4.5 years old ViewSVN has 20858 hits and 50 subscribers. According to Google Analytics, on the last month ViewGit saw 326 visits, while ViewSVN had 665 visits. Since its birth ViewGit has seen a total of 1866 visits.
Merry christmas!

First weeks of Google Analytics data is available for ViewSVN website and provides some interesting insight into the users, even though the number of visits fell down quite a bit after last release in 2007-07.

After seeing that even a simple plugin for another project can draw some hits when linked from a single page, I grew curious and decided to enable Google Analytics for two externally hosted projects: GitStats and ViewSVN.

According to BerliOS statistics, the latter seems to have drawn in 800-1800 hits each month for the last month, so the results should prove interesting. One good thing about Analytics is that it does not track spiders and other non-humans as those usually don’t run javascripts.

I’d really prefer to have this data in my own hands, rather than Google’s, though. Aren’t there any open source replacements for Google Analytics, yet?

Released ViewSVN 0.1.0. It’s a small project, but making sure you don’t screw up and managing releases (and other stuff) is such a pain.

Freshmeat announcement is pending but should appear sometime soon.
